We Be
Wax Tailor Lyrics

I look at the moon so full and so bright
I observe the bright full moon and its reflection in the flickering light of the fireplace, pondering on the world's imperfections.

And then at the fireplace with it flickering light
I shift my gaze to the fireplace and its flickering light, creating a somber and contemplative atmosphere.

And realised why this world would never be right
I come to the realization that the world is plagued with issues that make it far from perfect.

Then I through another lump on the fire
I throw another piece of wood onto the fire, perhaps as a symbolic gesture of adding to the passion to drive change.

We be, uh huh

We be, hmm hmm

We be Travelling down the highway of the enemy
We are metaphorically journeying on the path of our opponents, those causing the world's problems.

We be Joining the endless convoy of cultural hegemony
We are becoming part of the mass cultural movement that perpetuates problematic themes.

We be Missing the forest for the trees 'cause We can't see the evils that men do on TV In the movies, overseas and right here on our streets
We are overlooking the bigger picture and the systemic level of evil, failing to recognize the injustices portrayed in media and in our society.

Say, I’m standing on my soapbox again Say, I’m one of those conscious artist Talking that "change the world" shit again Say, I might be just a bit too dramatic Slash overzealous about what I see As the human spirit's dive into uncertainty Say what you like, say what you like 'Cause I’ll be all those things you say All night and all day

We be Many, so many Many, like the number of death threats That now come used to get
